What suit fabrics will never go out of style?

Michael Pascalis • August 23, 2022

For generations, the suit has been considered the everyday man’s armour – something you pull on when you want to look and feel you’re best. The type of fabric your suit is made of makes a strong statement, so choosing a fabric that will never go out of style is essential in creating a suit that will last you for years to come. 


At Pascalis Bespoke Tailoring, we committed to supplying fabrics from the world most respected manufacturers, ensuring great quality and longevity.


So, without further ado, what suit fabrics will never go out of style?


Wool 


Did you know that Australia accounts for 25% of global wool production? Meaning, wool is definitely staying in style for years to come. It is by far the most popular, all natural, suiting fabric. Its innate softness and breathability make it ideal for jackets in various styles. Wool does not wrinkle easily, has anti-microbial properties, and has amazing water resistance, though it isn’t entirely waterproof. Wool is suitable for both hot and cold weather because it provides remarkable temperature regulating abilities.


Cashmere


Cashmere dates back to the Roman and Byzantine periods, and its popularity has been a continuous historical thread. Cashmere can last many years with the proper care. It encompasses and incredibly soft texture, great water resistance, and provides great breathability. Cashmere is known to be the softest kind of wool, and one of the softest fabrics as well. It is safe to say that cashmere will never go out of style.


Tweed


Tweed constitutes a rough unfinished woollen fabric that is soft and is of a flexible texture. It is made in either plain or twill weave in either check or herringbone pattern. Tweeds are highly suitable for informal outerwear as they are moisture resistant and durable. Tweed suits originated in England and continue to be popular in colder climates because of their thick, bulky texture.


Linen


Suits curated with linen fabric is very popular during the warmer seasons this is because its looser, lightweight weave can keep you cool even in extreme temperatures. Picture sailing around the Greek Islands in your linen suit and silk shirt - linen provides its own unique stylish appeal, a style that historically has been popular, and will continue to be in the near and late future.


Worsted


Worsted wool is the most popular material for high-end suits. Unlike the normal wool, worsted wool has a smooth, soft finish without any fuzziness or sweater-like quality to it. It also has a soft texture and breathability. The essential feature of the worsted fabric is the straightness of the fibre as the fibres lie parallel to each other. In the past, long fine staple wool was spun in order to create worsted yarn, but other long fibres are also used today.


At Pascalis Bespoke Tailoring, it is our commitment to providing the finest fabrics which will never date that makes us the most trusted bespoke tailors Sydney can offer. We tailor in all grades of wool and synthetic blends. This includes silks, cottons, and linens, to obtain the finest durability with flannels, worsteds, twills, tweeds, and cords in a variety of colours, patterns, and textures.
